(Chemical Equation Presented) Asymmetric 1,4-dihydroxylations of 1,3-dienes, and other transformations, are initiated by the Pt-catalyzed enantioselective addition of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2(pin) 2) to conjugated dienes. The studies reported in this communication suggest that both cyclic and acyclic substrates will participate in this reaction; however, dienes which are unable to adopt the S-cis conformation are unreactive. For most substrates, 1,4-addition is the predominant pathway. In addition to oxidation to the derived 2-buten-1,4-diol, stereoselective carbonyl allylation with the intermediate bis(boronate) ester is also described.

The synthesis of fragment AB of bryostatin 1 is described.Two aldol coupling reactions involving (i) chiral fragment A with achiral B and (ii) chiral fragment A1 with achiral A2 constitute crucial steps in which an external chiral boron reagent is used to control stereoselectivity in the creation of a new stereogenic center.This type of double asymmetric synthesis, although rarely precedented, provides a powerful means of stereocontrol over the fragment assembly.
